Charles I	Reigned from 1625-1649 in England Constant conflicts between English King Charles I and Parliament Parliament which consisted of wealthy nobles were used to being consulted for government issues as a part of the parliament Charles I tried to assert his power over the Parliament but that led to a civil war. The Parliament forbade Charles from expanding his personal control In 1628 the Parliament forced Charles to sign the Petition of Right (see next term) Because Charles wanted to expand his power and the Parliament was constricting him of that, Charles did not call Parliament into session for eleven years. Instead, Charles created the Court of Star Chamber, which would heavily fine people in order to support the king. He also instated a tax to support the navy Eventually, Charles angered the Scots and when they invaded, Charles did not have the funds to fight the war He was short with funds, so he recalled Parliament only because they had the financial ability to support the king In exchange for money, the Parliament commanded the king and Charles had to do what they wished or else he would not have any funds. Charles was a firm believer that kings have the divine power and therefore he plotted to arrest members of Parliament. Charles’s quest for power and suppression of Parliament is what led England to a civil war which would lead to democratic political and religious movements	Jessica Griff

It took place around the year 1641. The court was set up to be unbiased and fair in civil matters. The sessions appeared publicly with evidence presented in writing. The court was set up to punish powerful people for their crimes- for ordinary courts would not convict them. Over time, Star chambers have been used to refer to strict legal systems. It removes the power of politically motivated false persecution.	Talia Blumofe
7.	Book of Common Prayer (Anglican prayer book)	1. the book used by the Anglican Church in their services 2. significant because at the time of Oliver Cromwell’s Puritan leadership he strove to silence all those who dissented from Puritanism (a sect of Christianity), and therefore forbade Anglicans from using the Book of Common Prayer 3. caused revolt from the stubborn Presbyterian Scots when it was imposed on them	Jonathan Attias

House of Commons; House of Lords (look this one up in wikipedia)	lower house of the Parliament Parliament is where representatives of each part of Great Britain get together with nobles and clergy to discuss legislative issues (similar to Congress in the US) Parliament was divided into two houses during the reign of Edward III; one house is where the nobles met with the clergy, and one where the representatives, knights, and burgesses, otherwise known as Commons, met they wanted to undo the royal tyranny of the 1630s so they removed Laud from office, ordered the execution of an unpopular royal commander, repealed taxes, abolished the Court of Star Chamber, and established that Parliament had to meet at least every three years, which is what in truth established constitutionalism	Jonathan Attias

The army leaders could not have seats in Parliament in order to separate the army from the political factions among the Parliamentarians. Sir Thomas Fairfax was Commander-in-Chief and Oliver Cromwell was in charge of cavalry. They were victorious at the Battle of Naseby where they defeated the Royalists. The kings’ army was not prepared for the strong New Model Army. Thus, the New Model Army was a major factor in the Parliamentarians’ victories.	Daniella Cohen

They did not gain a lot of support because their plans threatened the supremacy of the Parliament.	Daniella Cohen
